It was like winning World Cup: Chennai coach

Kolkata, Jan 2 (PTI) Having scripted the biggest upset of
the I-League season by shocking Mohun Bagan 1-2, Chennai City
FC coach V Soundararajan today said the victory was like
winning the "World Cup".

"This was the best match; beating Mohun Bagan feels like
being a champion of a World Cup. It was pretty decent to beat
them with ten members; it is a wonderful moment in my life,
Soundararajan said after Chennai City posted a remarkable
result despite being down to 10 players inside 34 minutes.

Soundararajan, who was Sanjoy Sen's team-mate at the
Railways, said Mohun Bagan were an organised side.

"They are very organised in each and every department
they are far better than us. I felt a 1-1 draw was coming but
the team went forward and scored the goal. This is the
greatest achievement for us because we are just two years old
(in the I-League). It was a historic match and a result."

"They initially played the passes but later gave in the
possession. We knew they will go for the second goal as
playing against ten men was an advantage for them. So we
tightened the defence. We took control of the ball, nearly 80
per cent of the ball possession. The only reason we won the
match is because Mohun Bagan surrendered the ball," said
